For 2015, I had spent a lot of time creating new invitations for various occasions, mainly for baby showers and birthday parties. I feel a sense of accomplishment looking back at the number of invitations that I had made. Thought I would just share my personal favourites, my top 10 sort of as a report card to myself for the past year. I have grouped them together to share why they are my favourites.
The Cuties
I like to draw cute stuff so it is no surprise that a number of cute designs are in my favourite list. Beside the cute element, I chose the the nautical baby shower, the fire fighter boy and Alice in wonderland because of this playfulness about the design which I like. That is the quality that I love kids to have!
The Unusual Style
The rest of my top 10 consists of invites that I did that are not in my usual style. They are usually very time consuming to do with many elaborate details to the invite.
I love this invite for the layout of the school supplies and the colourful elements in contrast with the dark texture background.

There are not that many rock climbing themed parties are out so this is a very niched birthday party invitation. It has a more illustration feel to it with its darker colours.

A pink doodle!
The main highlight for me is drawing the iconic Eiffel tower! I have to follow closely to the photographs to ensure that it turns up right. I completed this design just the week before the Paris attacks so it is not appropriate to do any form of promoting for this design. And I am guessing this Parisian theme is not going to be popular any time soon. |
This is one of my newest invitations. Being poker night, it does not fall in my usual baby shower or kids birthday party invitations. I love the whole whimsical idea behind the king of spades holding a beer bottle in one hand and the sword with a slice of pizza on the other hand.

This is a very simple invitation but I love it because I learn how to apply water textures to give more depth to the design.
